ARIA Albums

Despite midweek predictions of One Direction leading the charge to the #1 debut this week, it’s Justin Bieber who earns the coveted spot with new album Purpose debuting at #1, making for his third #1 album to date. This leaves One Direction’s Made In The A.M to debut at #2. The group’s fifth album marks their first as a four piece and so far is their only album not to top the chart. There is always next week however.
